Climatempo experts indicate a delay in the rains, and economic sectors are already feeling the effects
The prolonged drought that is plaguing the northern region of Brazil has caused concern. Reviews Weather, a reference in meteorological consultancy in Latin America, suggest that this drought is likely to persist, delaying the arrival of rain until the beginning of December.
Climate phenomena in conjunction
Recent studies by Climatempo revealed that we are facing the second biggest drought since the warming of Pacific waters in 2009-2010. “The current El Niño, in combination with the warming of the North Atlantic, is drastically affecting weather patterns in the North”, comments Williams Bini, expert and spokesperson for Climatempo. This scenario tends to extend the drought until the summer of 2023/2024, even with the expected relief from rain at the end of November.
Economic and social impacts of drought
Climate change has a direct impact on the economy and well-being of communities. Waterways, vital for the transport of products from the Manaus Free Trade Zone and agricultural commodities, such as the Negro, Amazon and Tapajós rivers, face critical water levels. Bini highlights: “Logistics problems for large ships are evident. Furthermore, farmers face financial challenges and compromised production due to drought.”
Not only is the economy suffering, but hydroelectric power generation is also at risk due to the decrease in the flow of rivers, such as the Madeira. The local population faces water scarcity, limiting access to essential water resources, influencing nutrition, hygiene and increasing health problems.
Climate preparedness and business strategy
Faced with climate challenges, Weather insists on the importance of companies preparing adequately. “We are at a time where climate analysis is crucial. For companies operating in the North, it is the difference between prosperity and adversity”, says Bini. He also highlights the monitoring services offered by Climatempo, which help companies and governments face climate adversities.
